Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The sore throat can be because of the bacterial infection and the white patch can be because of the fungal infection like candidiasis. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic). For the fungal infection you can take a topical clotrimazole ointment. Do saline gargling.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
